You can download these new Monkey cursors and icons from the Monkey Desktop Themes page: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/themes.html Howell _________________________________________________________________ Tired of 56k?

I will be creating a Mieko Takamine tribute page sometime soon, containing this information along with other information I have collected over the years... - --- Mieko Takamine 1918 – 1990 Real name Mieko Suzuki, she was born on 2nd December 1918 in Takanawa, Tokyo and had a successful career as an actress, singer and television presenter. Her father was a biwa (Japanese lute) player. Takamine made her debut as an actress in 1936; her early roles included films such as Shu to midori (Crimson and green) and Danryuu (A warm current) and she then branched out into singing, making her debut in 1938. Takamine is perhaps best known for the song ‘Kohan no yado’ (The Lakeside Inn) which was recorded in 1940. The song was officially banned at first because its sentimental melody and lyrics were considered inappropriate for the times. Nevertheless it became very popular among soldiers at the front. Takamine had further hits, but retired from singing in 1954 due to problems with her voice. In 1968 she became the MC of a popular afternoon TV show ‘Sanji no anata’ and continued in that role for many years. In the 1980s she appeared with actor Ken Uehara in a well known series of TV ads promoting rail travel. Takamine continued to be active in TV and film roles up to her death in 1990.
